Reading Marx's Capital

Introduction

I've considered myself a socialist for many years but like many people who consider themselves socialists I have never gotten around to actually reading Capital. Starting in late 2021 I have been attempting to rectify that by finally setting aside time to read it, along with listening to David Harvey's 2019 lecture series on it, which is available for no charge on YouTube.

(If you want to watch the lectures I would suggest downloading them with something like yt-dlp so you don't have to sit on YouTube for hours feeding them data about your viewing activity.)

As I read, if I think of anything worth writing about, I'll post it below. I think reflective writing is pretty useful when learning about new things.
